none is the answer,
I have done a lot of stuff regarding comics since that was initialy my ultimate dream and since I was drawing comics since the age of 7.
The once that get hired by DC or what ever other comic publisher are the once that are ultra talented, they don't need any models most of them would put you all to shame when it comes down to the initial knowlage of Anatomy.
If you need to have somebody to model for you, you are obviously not ready to draw (pencil) action comics.

Exactly - you've got to have it in your blood. You also need a high drawing-output to survive.

Boris Vallejo's wife Julie was a bodybuilder so they both do a lot of artwork with a BB pros.

Sometimes the comic artists get themselves into trouble by only looking at bodybuilding magazines, and not enough at skeletal anatomy. They can draw the muscles beautifully, but are unable to tone down the physique, or keep them attached to the bones.

You're retarded. Comic artists almost always have reference in front of them. Most comic painters take photos of their models and paint from those. Do a little research on Alex Ross for examples.
Plus, comic artists "swipe" each other's page layouts and poses constantly. Every artist has their favorites that they emulate to learn from.

Good point. Simon Bisley/Alex Horley use models as well. Maybe Chick can shed some more light on the matter since he was a "reference" for Cap

Sigh. Now ill have to do steroids.

i get the impression that the comic book hereos are getting bigger and bigger, just like bodybuilders on stage? punisher on the first page in this thread for example looks more jacked than ever!

I remember when cap used to be listed as 180lbs in the 1980's and that figure went to 200lbs and now its somewhere around 250lbs.
After all the steroid controversies they had a storyline where cap had the super soldier serum removed ( ???) from his body so i guess he's drug free now :D
From the upcoming game - Splatterhouse

Now i think Prime was a little known charachter but tapped into alot of kids desires. he was a skinnyu 13yr old who could mutate into the biggest, strongest most muscular superhero in the world ;D

The best thing about the Prime superhero character is that the artist drew actual locations that were familiar to most bodybuilders - such as the pit at Venice Beach where Prime took on some of the bodybuilders for some forgotten reason.
The punk Superboy comic book also illustrated actual physical locations including Waikiki Beach with renderings of the actual hotels in the background.
Whatever happened to that punk Superboy character comic anyway?

I've always wondered why comic books use GROSSLY over developed muscles on action figures and I just assumed it was because they didnt take anatomy into consideration..... hmmm..

didn't cutler himself say he wanted to be fricking gigantic and a bodybuilder by looking at bb mags back in the day and also comic book superheroes? think i read or heard him say that! he liked the look of huge freaky musculature that superheroes are drawn like in comic books. i guess he achieved it?!

That mostly has to do with an artist's style and the flavor of the day. Look at Adam Hughes for more realistic figures compared to, say, Stephen Platt for blown out bodies. It's a stylistic preference.
Comic artists get in trouble when their figure education is other artists who have evolved a style, and not getting more classical training. If you learn to draw by copying Todd McFarlane, you're stuff will be wacky. Rob Liefeld is a great example of moderate talent with horrible understanding of the human figure.
There's an entire industry of artists who draw like Jim Lee, and they tend to stagnate in their artistic growth. Jim, however, has a solid foundation in figure drawing and can grow and change.
You might like some of the old-school artists. Look up John Buscema and Frank Frazetta for some outstanding figure art.

You haven't the slightest idea... how do I know that? Simply because I've enjoyed 3 years in an german art school and every teacher tells you the same thing over and over again, if you do not understand the human body you will not be able to draw properly, every book from Drawing the Marvel way to the best books about drawing the human body will tell you always the same thing again.
I know a lot of comic artists ~(or have known them) and I have watched them work and non need any guidance when it comes down to draw poses, there are certain poses (marvel has some very distinctive once) you will see over and over again that has nothing todo with artists copying them self, but simply because they are stylish and emphasize a certain part of the story.
Seriously don't bother explaining yourself you have no idea..
To further prove my point, and there are thousands on youtube, and none of them (some you can see the whole room ;) need a model)

One of the covers of the Prime comic was him competing at muscle beach and seriously outsizing all the bodybuilders.
Superboy had a makover then was killed about a year ago during the infinite crisis saga.

Thanks, Max. SOme of the background drawings in that Prime comic were actual backgrounds of Venice Beach if I recall correctly,
They killed Superboy!!!??? The Super kid in the leather jacket with the dog?????
Those BASTIDS!

First, I objected to your statement that comic book artists don't use reference. They constantly have art books and photos in front of them.
If you need to have somebody to model for you, you are obviously not ready to draw (pencil) action comics.
Second, I enjoyed 10 years in the actual comic book industry (working for Marvel, DC, and some Image studios) getting paid to do comic book art. I'm no art school fag talking to failed artists who became teachers. Most of my friends are comic artists currently working in the industry.
The top, highest paid comic book artist Alex Ross regularly has models pose for him. He constantly uses photo reference, even tracing the photos. Comics are a disposable art form. When you have to draw 22 pages 12 times a year, shortcuts are the only way to stay on schedule.
